Capture Territory Where Enemy Had
Settled Down for Winter,
With War Material..
Some idea of the task performed
by Ontario infantry in their advance
on the north of the Cambrai road and
between the Sensee River when, with
Imperial divisions, .they stormed the
QueantDrocourt line on the morning
of Monday, Sept 2, can be gathered
from a' trip along this road up to
the villages bordering on the Canal
du Nord, says s. Canadian Press cor-
r esponda:it.
Vis -en -Artois, a ruin of rubble, was
then in our hands. Thence the ground
climbs gently eupwards east the
sunken road connecting Hondeeourt
and Dury. Through here, there fire
no less than five enemy trench sys-
tems, with wire everywhere. The
sunken road was hold in great force
and one Central Ontario battalion was,
somewhat cut up before it captured
the 14 machine-gun posts in front of,
it. This was the same battalion that ,
in the Amiens show captured Le 1
Quesnel in the face of very strong
enemy defence, including whizz -bang,
batteries and machine-gun nests, That
success was accomplished by a bril-
liant turning movement and the result
was the capture of a' complete divi-
sional headgparters and vast stores,
which gave all ranks In the battalion.
A change of underwear and new,
boots.

Nothing of the kind was possible
here, but the battalion went grimly
forward till it carried the crest by as-
sault and turned in a large number
of prisoners. This battalion belongs
to the brigade that captured and has
since consolidated the apex of the'
Sensee River and the Canal du Nord
triangle.
Excellent Work of Various Units.
A Quebec battalion fought through
the marshy ground along. the river.
This area is dissected by ditches and
was filled with machine-gun posts.
Some British Columbia troops also
had very stiff fighting before this
hornet's nest was cleaned out and we
had established ourselves solidly be-
tween the river and the canal,
Novel and brilliant reconnaissance
work for this attack was done by a
brigadier, who advanced 5,000 yards
in front of his line in a whippet tank.
"He's always trotting about the
front line," said a member of his
staff, explaining his absence. `He is
a regular daredevil, who isn't happy
if he isn't in the thick of it."
Contributory to this success was
the excellent work of our artillery,
and in particular a Manitoba bat-
tery did useful service at a critical
hi,oment by laying down a smoke
screen across the Cambrai road un-
der cover of which the infantry
pushed their attack. •
Down the Cambrai road, 'through
Vis -en -Artois, past Drury on the

remnants of an armored ear, the

iron of all descriptions—these things
cumber the roadside. Everywhere
are horses in various stages of cor-
ruption. Here and there are rows
of our dead, awaiting the burial par-
ties. Over all is a brooding stench
of decay and stale gas. Gangs of
our engineers are at work mending
the roadbed, relaying the steel, dig-
ging out the ditches. The battle-
field of yesterday becomes the hum-

A Smiling Country Beyond.
But a mile or so beyond, and what
a transformation is here. We have
passed through No Man's Land to a
smiling ountery'beyond, a part of
France held for four years in bond-
age. Away to the right are three
villages. They are Saudemdlnt,
Rumaucourt and Ecourt St. Quentin,
From a distance it looks as if a
pocket handkerchief might carry
them. They stand intact, the
hcuncces rising above the red -tiled
roofs, 'The whole nestling— amid
groves of green foliage. The sight
of these villages and green fields is
more eloquent than anything that
has gone before of the success of
the battle, for here, es in former
years, the Boche had settled' down
for the Winter. He had filled them
with his material of war. Now all
of it is in our hands.
Rumaucourt, particularly, was a
great artillery dump. The enemy
had large supplies of ordnance and
material. Here, too, was a complete
hospital train. In Aeourt we cap-
tured a vast quantity of supplies of
all kinds. Tucked away behind the
supposedlympregnable Queant-Dro-
coult line lidhad made of these three'
villages a great depot. They were
beyond the area we shelled. Not a
tile was out of place on Monday.
But no soon er had he got This wind
after his hasty exit than he turned
with wrath on these villages. In-
tact though they seem from a dis-
tance, on entering there is evidence
at every hand of the process of rain.
Windows are shattered and walls
gape. "A beautiful spire is that of
the Church of Ecourt St. Quentin,
but even as one looks a shell hits
it fair and square and it disappears
in a cloud of dust.
Nevertheless the fields are still
green. Our soldiers gather pumpkins
in the village gardens. Cattle-.. wade
in the hash pastures. Except for the
destruction of his heavy guns the
enemy could not have wreaked this
desolation. Beyond are fairer fields
and villages.
A Hopeful Outlook.
It is the business of the Canadian
Corps to do its share in reclaiming
these villages to France. It has
come from shell -torn Arras. It has
fought its way step by step over fif-
teen miles of blasted wilderness,
where even the weeds wither and die
end the handiwork of man through
the centuries is blotted out. The re-
treating enemy has left behind him
only concrete and barbed wire.
Such is No Man's Land. It is the
despair we leave behind us, the des-
pair of the weary years ,the bitter
Winters of trench warfare. All that
is past. With each sunrise hope
shines from the west.

HINTS ON STORING COAL.
Precautions To Prevent Loss Through
Spontaneous Combustion.
During the present year, consumers
are storing coal as long in advance
of winter as possible. It la important,
therefore, that they should take pre-
cautions in the storage loss through
spontaneous combustion is to be pee -
vented. There are certain simple
methods of handling coal that ex-
peerience has taught are necessary to
obviate such a misfortune, a 'pecially
Where considerable gllantitios are to
be stored. Thus, coal should be so
piled that air can circulate through it
freely to carry off the heat, or so
closely piled that air cannot enter the
pile. Low piles are preferable, if
space permits, and alleyways should
be provided to facilitate moving the
coal quickly. Occasional ventilation
pipes are ill-advised, hut the practice
of placing such ,pipes close together
has been tried in Canada with effec-
five results. Different kinds of Coal
should not be mixed In storage.

A NEWSPAPER PROCESS.
For the Making of Newsprint Froin
Ground Wood -Pulp.
•
The Taggarts Paper Co., of Great
Bend, N.Y., has developed a process
for the making of newsprint teem all
ground -wood Pulp, omitting entirely
any proportion of sulphite pulp. Mr.
George C. Sherman, president of the
company, in an interview given to the
Paper Trade Journal, said:
"It required two cords of wood for
a ton of sulphite pulp, while one cord
of wood will make more than a ton
of ground -wood pulp.• It takes 20 per
cent. more timber to make paper out
of 20 per cent. sulphite than it does
out of all ground wood. One-flfth
more acreage of timber is required
for the sulphite method."
If this process should prove gener-
ally feasible it will do much to con-
serve Canada's forests. It would also
effect a considerable saving in the
cost of manufacturing newsprint and
in the consumption of sulphur, which
is in demand for the making of muni-
tions.

The Plaiii Truth about
Shoe Prices
BATHER is scarce and is growing scarcer. A
ti
large part of the available supply must be used
for soldiers' boots. Importations have prac-
tically ceased and we are forced to depend
upon the limited quantity of materials produced in
Canada.
The cost of everything which goes into a pair of shoes is
high, and is going higher. Workmen by the thousands have
joined the colors, and lab'or is increasingly hard to get. It is
not merely a matter of high prices, but of producing enough
good quality shoes to go around. •
These conditions are beyond the control of any man, or
any group of men. They fall on all alike. No one is exempt ---
neither the manufacturer, the dealer, nor the consumer.
You must pay more today for shoes of the same quality than
you did a year ago. Next Spring, prices will be higher still.
These are hard facts. They will not yield to argument.
They cannot be glossed over. We cannot' change them, much
as we would wish to do so.
But you, as a wearer of shoes, can help to relieve them if you
will exercise prudence and good judgment in purchasing. See
that you get real value for your money. Spend enough to get
ft, but spend nothing for "frills."
See that the manufacturef's trade -mark is stamped upon the
shoes you buy. High prices are a temptation to reduce the quality
in order to make the price seem low. But 110 manufacturer will
stamp his trade -mark upon. a product which he is ashamed
to acknowledge. Remember this, and look for the i.rade-mark.
It is your best assurance of real value for your money.

But a mile or so beyond, and what

Rumaucourt and Ecourt St. Quentin,

But no soon er had he got This wind

with wrath on these villages. In-

Windows are shattered and walls
gape. "A beautiful spire is that of

but even as one looks a shell hits
it fair and square and it disappears
in a cloud of dust.
Nevertheless the fields are still
green. Our soldiers gather pumpkins
in the village gardens. Cattle-.. wade
in the hash pastures. Except for the
destruction of his heavy guns the
enemy could not have wreaked this
desolation. Beyond are fairer fields
and villages.
A Hopeful Outlook.
It is the business of the Canadian
Corps to do its share in reclaiming
these villages to France. It has
come from shell -torn Arras. It has
fought its way step by step over fif-
teen miles of blasted wilderness,
where even the weeds wither and die
end the handiwork of man through
the centuries is blotted out. The re-
treating enemy has left behind him
only concrete and barbed wire.
Such is No Man's Land. It is the
despair we leave behind us, the des-
pair of the weary years ,the bitter
Winters of trench warfare. All that
is past. With each sunrise hope
shines from the west.

HINTS ON STORING COAL.
Precautions To Prevent Loss Through
Spontaneous Combustion.
During the present year, consumers
are storing coal as long in advance
of winter as possible. It la important,
therefore, that they should take pre-
cautions in the storage loss through
spontaneous combustion is to be pee -
vented. There are certain simple
methods of handling coal that ex-
peerience has taught are necessary to
obviate such a misfortune, a 'pecially
Where considerable gllantitios are to
be stored. Thus, coal should be so
piled that air can circulate through it
freely to carry off the heat, or so
closely piled that air cannot enter the
pile. Low piles are preferable, if
space permits, and alleyways should
be provided to facilitate moving the
coal quickly. Occasional ventilation
pipes are ill-advised, hut the practice
of placing such ,pipes close together
has been tried in Canada with effec-
five results. Different kinds of Coal
should not be mixed In storage.

A NEWSPAPER PROCESS.
For the Making of Newsprint Froin
Ground Wood -Pulp.
•
The Taggarts Paper Co., of Great
Bend, N.Y., has developed a process
for the making of newsprint teem all
ground -wood Pulp, omitting entirely
any proportion of sulphite pulp. Mr.
George C. Sherman, president of the
company, in an interview given to the
Paper Trade Journal, said:
"It required two cords of wood for
a ton of sulphite pulp, while one cord
of wood will make more than a ton
of ground -wood pulp.• It takes 20 per
cent. more timber to make paper out
of 20 per cent. sulphite than it does
out of all ground wood. One-flfth
more acreage of timber is required
for the sulphite method."
If this process should prove gener-
ally feasible it will do much to con-
serve Canada's forests. It would also
effect a considerable saving in the
cost of manufacturing newsprint and
in the consumption of sulphur, which
is in demand for the making of muni-
tions.

The Plaiii Truth about
Shoe Prices
BATHER is scarce and is growing scarcer. A
ti
large part of the available supply must be used
for soldiers' boots. Importations have prac-
tically ceased and we are forced to depend
upon the limited quantity of materials produced in
Canada.
The cost of everything which goes into a pair of shoes is
high, and is going higher. Workmen by the thousands have
joined the colors, and lab'or is increasingly hard to get. It is
not merely a matter of high prices, but of producing enough
good quality shoes to go around. •
These conditions are beyond the control of any man, or
any group of men. They fall on all alike. No one is exempt ---
neither the manufacturer, the dealer, nor the consumer.
You must pay more today for shoes of the same quality than
you did a year ago. Next Spring, prices will be higher still.
These are hard facts. They will not yield to argument.
They cannot be glossed over. We cannot' change them, much
as we would wish to do so.
But you, as a wearer of shoes, can help to relieve them if you
will exercise prudence and good judgment in purchasing. See
that you get real value for your money. Spend enough to get
ft, but spend nothing for "frills."
See that the manufacturef's trade -mark is stamped upon the
shoes you buy. High prices are a temptation to reduce the quality
in order to make the price seem low. But 110 manufacturer will
stamp his trade -mark upon. a product which he is ashamed
to acknowledge. Remember this, and look for the i.rade-mark.
It is your best assurance of real value for your money.
